We help install quality, energy-efficient window products that stand up to these harsh extremes.

Yes, but due to New England's cold temperatures during the winter months, we'll work with you to implement a plan to limit how long the house is exposed to the elements and keep your home as warm as possible.
Vinyl and fiberglass are two of the most popular materials used when replacing wood.
- Fiberglass is great for customizing and is paintable; however, it's textured.
- Vinyl comes in many colors but is not paintable and mostly smooth.
If you want to maximize your view, fiberglass is ideal because it's thinner and takes up less window space than vinyl.

A storm door helps to protect your existing exterior door and provides a few additional benefits, such as UV protection, screens (to let in a breeze but not bugs), and aesthetics. Although many storm doors have little insulation value, an additional barrier between the wind and cold exterior will help reduce drafts.
